Budgetary Cost for Pipe Conveyor

Enquiry for a budgetary cost for Pipe conveyor

dear all

We are planning for a Pipe conveyor to tranfer coal from a Coal Jetty to Stackyard. the distance btwn the two is about 10km (over sea). The unloading will be done by two Ship unloaders of 2300tph each. We have to provide a conveyor system to match this handling rate.

The conveyor routing is predominantly flat and straight.

(pipe conveyor chosen due to environmental constrains)

So I request the honourbl members of the forum to provide a budgetry cost for the project (with appropriate technical specifications) for the pipe conveyor system.

Can contact (andy7512@gmail.com) me for any further details required to provide the specs. ■

Piipe Conveyor Cost - Order Of Magnitude

Transporting 4600 t/h over 10 km will cos,t in rough number, 30 million USD installed. This number does not include country conditions, tariffs, foreign infrastructure et al. ■

More information is needed to size the system in detail.

1. Product size distribution

2. Country location

3. Environmental conditions - wind, temp, etc.

4. Product density

5. Structures to be considered

6. I am sure you know the drill on necessary design details heretofore not noted

I believe the number might be good for one country, not so good for another.

If you are looking for a 30%, then you have it.

Sizes come with effort. ■

Dear Andy,

i just read the small print in your request

quote

"distance btwn the two is about 10km (over sea)."

" with appropriate technical specifications "

unquote.

Please tell, are you member of a consultant team doing budgeting for a RFQ? Please could you consider then the rough engineering + budgeting of a pipe conveyor / with oversea routing !!!/ something of an "actionable+value-adding" task that is imo done by specialised companies for, well, let's name it a compensation? And with, let's name it something like a warranty, of a feasability / reality of pricing etc ?

(Just my way of understanding your post..)

In any case, i (personally) wouldn`t like to be a bidder against a "googled" budget for such an installation.

Just an afterthought...

There's lot's of people & companies out there who would be glad to offer their SERVICES as a sub! You could even start within this forum, having even / already received professional engineering input to your request. Then there's also a forum for new tenders / projects / inquiries or so.. Think about it.

Best wishes for your project & Regards
